Tyra Banks

"Don't get me wrong, ego-wise, when I see the cover of the magazines and they say that [I'm a mogul] I'm like oh, 'that looks popping and it looks hot, but it aint true.' Oprah's been doing this for 30 years. Mogul? That's like Martha Stewart. That's like going public. Mogul? Not yet."

– 'America's Next Top Model' host and Emmy-winning talk show Tyra Banks talks to 'Ebony' magazine about being called a mogul.

In other news, Banks' daytime talk show will stop airing in first-run syndication with Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution and now broadcast exclusively on The CW network when it returns for its fifth season in Sept. 2009.

Tyra Banks Hair Looks

    Hawaiian Silky?
    Maybe. At any rate, Tyra Banks goes for the free flowing care-be-darned look with an exotic flower as an accent. A burnt sienna mix of reds and browns are the colors she chooses on this day. Frank Micelotta, Getty Images

    Pretty & Tousled
    With barrel ringlettes and hints of cranberry and auburn, Tyra shines as she keeps her make-up light so that the real star (her hair) can shine. Getty Images

    Twosome
    Somehow this look of two seemingly separate hair styles ("bump-rows" and hair out in the back) works -- kind of a sophisticated shag. Frederick M. Brown, Getty Images

    Glamour Puss
    Tyra's giving us old Hollywood glamour with soft cascading waves parted on the side. That come hither look is dangerous! Frank Micelotta, Getty Images

    Razor Sharp

    Foxy Brown
    With a more subdued brown all-around, Tyra is picture perfect with medium sized ringletts and eyelashes that pop. Thos Robinson, Getty Images

    Blonde Ambition
    Going outside of her usual repetoire of browns and reds, Tyra throws a straight blonde look on with a dark lip to match her brown cap. Lawrence Lucier, Getty Images

    Pony Up
    Keeping it classic with a twist, Tyra gives a new nod to the ponytail with barrel curls pinned up and a wisp of hair on the side to keep it modern. A smoky eye finishes the chic-ness. Peter Kramer, Getty Images

    Bangin'
    Tyra always makes fun of her 'eight head' and this simple cut with bangs straight across her brow keeps it covered nicely. Frazer Harrison, Getty Images
